Under the Xew Jersey system each county is obliged to
appoint a competent county engineer, who must work
along lines designated by the state commissioner of roads.
Boards of free holders must appoint a county supervisor
of roads, whose dutj' it is to superintend and supervise the
repair and maintenance of the highway aided. Counties
are required to keep state-aided roads in repair.
Money collected from automobile licenses, fines, reg
istration fees, etc., are turned over to be used as a fund for
the repair of improved roads. In New Jersey this amounts
to a quarter of a million a year.
The statement is made that "the value of good roads
to New Jersey is becoming more and more apparent each
year. They have brought within the borders a large and
desirable citizenship; communities have grown to boroughs
and cities; manufacturers have been quick to see the ad
vantages of locating in suburban districts with good roads KENTUCKY MAN TRIES

industrial centers have grown from what two years ago
were but villages; in almost every section of the state .real
estate values have been enhanced, and as a result there
has been a steady and healty growth in the ratajjles."
What good roads have done for New Jersey they will
also do for Oregon, but until the constitution is amended,
state-aided roads are impossible. But we can amend the
constitution.
